Today I worked on some changes to the page for my Fast Florida Footies. I had a few people write saying the last few characters of each line of text were cut off when they tried to print it. This, I am sure, depends a bit on which printer someone has (it printed out fine on my printer) but I changed the width so that it should work now. If anyone wants to test and let me know if it prints OK at their house, I’d appreciate it. Just click on the picture here, and it will take you to the new page.

I really want to do a total redo of my free pattern pages, with a white background and a few editing changes a few people have sent recently. However, I have to dig out the notes and some days I feel more organized than others in that department.

Bye-bye to My Tree
Oh, just in personal news… it was warm enough today and the sun stayed up long enough, that I finally agreed to take down our wonderful, 1940’s, silver-aluminum tinsel Christmas Tree. Brian had to start, though, I was so sad to lose it. Since it’s shiny, turning on the fuschia lights really reflects all over the room. We took it down in March last year, too… but not this late. I was really pushing it this time, don’t you think??? No pics, I’m sorry. Next year, I guess.

Knitting
In knitting news, when I’m out and about I’m working on my Magic Garden Buttons sox, about 4″ on both cuffs so far. I don’t feel like turning the heel on the wool/alpaca blend and haven’t heard back from Diana yet on her two pair.

But then when I was home, I started on another design possibly for publication. Cross your fingers for me! I made the proposal today and am not sure how long it will take to find out if I’m accepted or not. There is also going to be a design contest at http://needletrax.com for sox based on Sole Solutions software. (I really like the software, especially when I make sox for others.) That will be fun, but I signed up only a few days ago and have not even started thinking on that one.

Foster Community Center Open House, this Friday
Oh, if any knitters in the Lansing area are free on this Friday night, Foster Community Center is having an open house and is willing to open a room for knitting (as in, teach someone who has never knit before how to knit a few rows, or perhaps answer a few questions), except I have to be working in my computer lab. Anyone in town able to volunteer? There will be plenty for kids to do if you need to bring yours along. And you can meet some of my CityKidz from my knitting program! They are great people.

The open house starts at 6:00 pm and I think it ends at 8:00 pm. The location is in the East Side Neighborhood, just west of Frandor and less than a block behind the Blimpies on Michigan at Foster Ave. The address is 200 N. Foster and I would be glad for you to just pop by, but I do need to know if I have enough volunteers for them to set up space for us or not. I sent out an email asking several local folks if they would help out, but I am tired and could have easily missed a few folks.
